Schedule 80 Pipe Dimensions & Weight

ASME B36.10M — carbon steel, plain end

Outside diameter, wall thickness, inside diameter, and weight per foot for schedule 80 steel pipe, NPS 1/8" through 8". Weights are computed from the tube cross-section (OD, wall) at 0.284 lb/in³ — the same geometry the FabCostEstimator quoting engine uses, and within 0.5% of standard carbon-steel weight tables. Also see the schedule 40 chart, or weigh and price a specific length in the free estimator.

NPS 12" and under: nominal size ≠ actual OD (2" pipe is 2.375" OD). Weight is plain-end; threaded-and-coupled runs slightly heavier.

Frequently asked questions

What is the inside diameter of 2 inch schedule 80 pipe?

2" NPS schedule 80 pipe has a 2.375" outside diameter and a 0.218" wall, giving an inside diameter of 1.939". NPS is a nominal name — neither OD nor ID is exactly 2 inches.

How much does 2 inch schedule 80 pipe weigh?

5.03 lb per foot in carbon steel (plain end). A 21-foot length weighs about 106 lb.

Do these dimensions apply to stainless pipe?

Yes — ASME B36.19M stainless pipe shares the same OD and, for these schedules, the same wall thicknesses at these sizes. Weights differ slightly with density: multiply the carbon-steel weight by about 1.02 for 304/316 stainless, or by about 0.35 for aluminum pipe.
